"This will be a good test for us.". We will try to please the fans. Bogdan Butko and Artem Dovbik will work today in the general group. Butko was a little sick, he had a poisoning.

Yesterday he had an easy training, and today he will work at full strength, and we will determine his condition. Dovbik had little damage. Now the doctors said that everything is fine, so he too is in the ranks ".

"Eugene Konoplyanka practically did not have a game practice in Schalke, but he is in good physical condition. He will also have a chance to prove himself. For us, the match with Malta is an important game in preparation for the fight with Finland, therefore we will try to give all the performers ", said Shevchenko.
